Stock suspension, what's adjustable
 
I've been trying to decide on having an alignment done, despite the car tracking true and tire wear being as expected. Given that very little is adjustable on the stock suspension, I'm reluctant to do it.

For the record, what is adjustable on the stock suspension? From the service manual it looks like it's only:
Front toe
Rear toe
Rear camber

Right? I suppose it's still worth getting an alignment to ensure I'm at least at factor spec and nothing is bent. Hell, I've driven 18,000mi.

If you have not done anything dramatic like lower the car, jump curbs, hit anything, your car should track true and to factory specs like how you had it from the factory. Usually if your tires are wearing correctly you are fine. If you have bent control arms there could be a possibility of settings being off. We only recommend our customers to do an alignment when they have uneven tire wear or if they need better handling for performance reasons.

I believe factory front toe, rear toe and rear camber are adjustable.

Spearfish- yep front toe, rear toe and camber (limited amount).

You guys convinced me. No alignment. My tire wear is all even, and the car tracks straight. With three adjustable items, an alignment is a waste of money right now.

Yah unless its really screwed up chances are they will make it worse.
